Miro Description

Miro (ex Democracy Player) is a cross-platform Bittorrent-enabled RSS aggregator with built-in video playback. Miro is a cross-platform Bittorrent-enabled RSS aggregator with built-in video playback that seeks to make watching Internet video from a wide range of sources as easy as watching TV.Miro is part of the Democracy Internet TV platform, which includes the torrent-enabled RSS publishing application Broadcast Machine and the video bookmarking site Videobomb.com.Subdirectory bmachine: Broadcast Machine, an Internet TV publishing package, integrating a Bittorrent tracker, an RSS server, and a content management system into one easy-to-use Web application that can be installed by dragging a folder into your FTP client -- no database setup needed.Subdirectory tv: The centerpiece of the Democracy platform, Miro is a desktop application that aims to make Internet TV an enjoyable experience for even the least technically sophisticated user. The Player can view channels created with Broadcast Machine as well as a wide variety of other video sources on the Internet. It also integrates with the remaining two components of the Democracy platform: Channel Guide for promoting channels and Video Bomb for easy end-user republishing and social promotion of individual videos.Subdirectory dtv-binary-kit: Prebuilt binary dependencies for building Miro on Windows -- so developers can get up and running in half an hour instead of a week. If used, it should be checked out 'alongside' the source to Miro. That is, 'tv' and 'dtv-binary-kit' should both be subdirectories of the samedirectory. If you're reading this file, odds are good that you just checked out the whole repository, and so this has already been taken care of for you.
